Chapter 6: Path of Meditationध्यानयोग
6:34
“O Krishna, the mind is restless, turbulent, obstinate, and very strong. To subdue it, I think, is more difficult than controlling the wind.”
Sanskrit
चञ्चलं हि मनः कृष्ण प्रमाथि बलवद्दृढम् | तस्याहं निग्रहं मन्ये वायोरिव सुदुष्करम् ||
Transliteration
cañcalaṁ hi manaḥ kṛṣṇa pramāthi balavad dṛḍham tasyāhaṁ nigrahaṁ manye vāyor iva su-duṣkaram
Commentary
Arjuna's honest confession resonates with every meditator who has struggled with the wandering mind. This acknowledgment is the first step toward mastery - recognizing the challenge we face.
